Corporations are amoral psychopaths that don't care about anything except getting more money and power. We have countless examples of them lying, violating the law, and even murdering large numbers of people (including babies) to get i

The EPA is a good example of why this is so bad. Even if 90% of the states pass rules to protect the air and water it takes only a small number of states not following environmental regulations to cause a massive amount of harm to air and w

Corruption in the US isn't new, but it's never been done as openly as it has been recently. I don't think it's a good thing. It shows that the government isn't concerned about what the public thinks, which suggests
